<Cesar> This page will host the abstract, table of content and link to the subpages of the thesis.Research notes (+“PhD” tag), paragraphs, chapters, papers will be published on this website as blogposts and eventually compiled in a traditional academic format for journal publication and peer reviewing. I will often publish drafts posts, interact with comments and come back to edit/improve my posts. I intend to use a markup language I have developed in previous pieces of writing, I called AcademiXML (inspired from LaTeX and XML).</Cesar>

Hello Cesar, My name is Joe Filep and feel so inspired by your idea, project and website. I have an idea that would suite a similar layout to yours, in sharing, creating and making a working prototype with public funding. I would like to know more on how to set up and protect the idea then share? I’m contactable on 07967 639086 or joe.filep@virginmedia.com I am based in Nottingham, England.
I hope your sea voyage has been successful ?
Best wishes Joe Filep
